Fox News is promoting a Wall Street Journal column by Bjorn Lomborg to claim that electric vehicles are “even worse” for the environment than conventional gasoline cars. But experts say Lomborg’s assumptions are out of step with reality and that the environmental benefits of electric vehicles will only grow in the near-future.

…as the Natural Resources Defense Council’s Max Baumherner noted, the study used estimates for production emissions that are three times higher than those from Argonne National Laboratory, which perhaps explains why other studies have found greater environmental benefits from electric cars.
